OUR VISIONWe envisage a world in which everyone has
access to quality education, a world where all development
endeavours would be centred on the child who is the custodian
of the future. This may be the key to complete eradication
of poverty as this would lead to the people being able to
make informed decisions for democracy, good governance and
sustainable development.

Government School Ntim. Provision of basic educationis not the exclussive responsibility of the State.ORES must be ready to partner up in this task.

TARGET GROUPS

OUR ACTIVITIESORES promotes basic education and child centred
development in the following ways:

we donate books through our rural book donation scheme.
If education is the road out of poverty, books are
the wheels needed for the journey (Richard Crabbe,
Chairman, African Publishers Network 1997 - 2002)

We run short-term adult literacy classes. Here is our
definition of illiteracy - If
you cannot read your Bible then you are illiterate!

b) The Promotion of Education

We award scholarships to outstanding students especially
those of parents with inadequate financial resources.

We offer short-term training to rural teachers by way
of workshops especially for specific purposes like use of
local material in constructing didactic materials etc.

We assist rural communities in erecting structures like
classrooms.

We lobby at the level of state institutions concerned
with education, policy makers and other international bodies.

c) Child Centred Development

We sensitise the people on the need for fundamental rights
of the child to be respected as specified on the United
Nations Convention on the rights of the child. We organise
workshops to counter vices like

child labour

child trafficking

economic exploitation

sexual abuse

street children

Pre-school age children (less than six years old) should
participate in quality early childhood care and development
programs that promote their social, emotional, cognitive
and physical development.

Out of school youth should acquire retainable basic learning
and life skills, through quality non-formal education
